01-7-2008 - June 25,2008 More bad news

My mood while writing this blog:
sad

Jeez! So I got a call in the middle of training from the nurse wanting to speak to me. I knew it! The second I saw the missed call I knew something wasn't right or they wouldn't b calling. I took a break and called her. She explained to me (Maria the nurse) that my test came back high and she needed me to schedule an appointment with a nutritionist and specialist!! My heart sank! I mean she didn't exactly say the words bt I had to ask. Does that mean I have gestational diabetes? and she said YES. I just felt like this is the end of the world 4 me. I tried explaining 2 her that I dnt pig out on junk food or sweets and that I've been very careful. I guess I wanted to make myself beleive that I've been trying real hard and that it's not my fault. Bt unfortunately her remark to me was "Well I can't say for sure that it's nt your fault." At that point I thanked her for calling and scheduling my appointment and hung up. I totally lost it!! That was like a slap in the face and I tried my best to keep it together I mean I still had a long day at work. I was hesitant 2 call my honey because I wasn't getting support n e where. I decided to tell him later. I then got a call from the place we were trying 2 lease with some more bad news about the apartment we wanted. Somebody else took it so they wanted us 2 look at another one ;( I then called my honey to let him know about the apartment and about the nurses call. I told him that I dnt want 2 hear how he feels about that at the moment and that I didn't want him 2 tell the family until I'm ready. I just figured I had 2 do that 4 myself for peace of mind.

I just came across this blog and wanted to let you know tht you can eat healthier than anyone in the world and STILL have GD. It is not your fault. Something in the placenta blocks your insulin from working properly during pregnancy. It happens to some women & not to others. y doc said it affects about 10% of pregnant women. SOmetimes it can be controlled by diet (as mine was with my first 2 term pregnancies) and sometimes you need insulin shots (as I did with my last pregnancy) It isn't the end of the world and all you need to do is follow the nutritionists instructions. Best of luck to you for the remainder of your pregnancy

First of all calm down. GD is not really that big of a deal. You can handle it through diet and if that doesn't work there is always insulin! You are almost to the finish line of your pregnancy and this is really just a small hurdle compared to things that can truly go wrong in a pregnancy!! If you need help/ideas on foods to eat, etc let me know!

Blessings!

i'm sorry you've had such bad news lately :( dont worry, it'll get better. Gestational Diabetes is not the end of the world, its just another reason to REALLY focus on yours and your baby's health. good luck with it, keep your head up<3
